I began reading the Magic Tree House series with my son several years ago. We'd take turns reading sections alod and it helped his reading as well as making him more confident to read aloud in class. He's 13 years old now and doesn't read these anymore but I confess to picking one up still here and there. I've been a fan of fantasy literature for 30 years and sometimes it's nice to take a bit of a break from the latest Robert Jordan behemoth and read something a little lighter both in length and in plot.

This is #32 in mary Pope Osbornes wonderfully imaginative Magic Tree House series. In this one, during Christmas Time Jack and Annie are summoned through the tree house by old friends Teddy and Kathleen. They emerge in a land that is frozen by magic by the Ice Wizard. But the wizard is no villian. He actually wanted Jack and Annie's help in finding Merlin and Morgan Le Fay who have disappeared. Thus begins a typical classic fantasy quest for our heroes.

Most adults can get through one of these in a couple of hours or so and kids in a couple of days. They are well-written, exciting and fun books for kids or adults looking for a small diversion. They really take me back to the days of reading C.S. Lewis and others when I was a kid. Enjoyable for all!

I felt excited to get a copy of "Winter of the Ice Wizard" by Mary Pope Osborn. This is one of the great stories of "The Magic Tree House" series. These books are about two little kids named Jack and Annie. They travel in a magic tree house.

In this story Jack and Annie have to find the Ice Wizard's eye. The wizard gives them a riddle and a rope with knots in it to help them on their quest. When someone unties a knot the sleigh goes faster. Two big white wolves chase our heros in the snow.

I really liked this book because the story had a lot of mystery and danger. I liked the author's characters, except the Norn sisters. They were too nice! If you want to find out what happens with the wolves at the end, rush to buy this book!

NB: this is the first time my son has ever read a book cover-to-cover!!!!

I'm 12, & this is the best of the Magic Tree House: Merlin Missions! It's when Jack, Annie, Teddy & Kathleen go to a freezing & bare land, where they meet the Ice Wizard (named in privious M.M.'s), who tells them to retreive his missing eye. Jack & Annie use a sleigh to "sail" across the winter wonderland, they also meet three Norns, who warn them about a Frost Giant! What happens??? Read the book!!!

With the cute addition of tales from places like Scandinavia, which tell of mythical tales, this concudes this set of Merlin Missions. Next in the series, Jack & Annie's adventures will have MAGIC and (Yay!) HISTORY in the stories!!! Mary Pope Osborne...KEEP ON WRITING! Highly reccomened to anyone...Along with the rest of the series (YES: all 32 of them!!) & the wonderful Research Guides: The Facts Behind the Fiction!

My son and I liked this book but I felt is was not the best from the series. It still is very good...a little gory on the removal of the eye description (however, my son loved that part...I guess it is a boy thing). We love these books!

I tried many different books to spark my daughter's interest for reading. I love to read and have been reading to her since she was 2 years old. I was so hurt and frustrated when she told me at 5 that she did not like to read. Well, she just didn't like the books I chose for her. She read one of the Magic Tree House books at school and since then has been hooked. I have been getting as many of the books in the series as possible since she just loves to read them! The great part is that these books are introducing her to history in a way that is interesting and fascinating. She has even begged me to get her the research handbooks for some of the books in the series! I couldn't be happier that she loves to read these books. It is so important for kids to read since it is too easy to watch TV, log on to the internet or play video games! She has even started reading before she goes to sleep each night. Thank you MS. Osborne for writing such wonderful books that are engaging for children and help to promote great comprehension skills!

My five year old daughter and I have read all of the Magic Tree house books and waited with great anticipation for this one. Unfortunately we couldn't get past the first chapter because of the notion of the Ice Wizard losing his eyeball and the children having to find it. What a scary concept for children! I'm sure the rest of the book was exciting and well written as are all of them in the series, but I wanted to warn anyone with a sensitive child that this one might be a little too scary.

Winter of the Ice Wizard is an exciting book you should read it. It starts here, The wizard has lost his eye and his heart. So he only has one eyeball left. Jack and Annie must find his eyeball quick! Before they are in danger... So then the wizard gives them the wind string. And they are off! On their way they met fate sisters who wove cloth to make story's. Annie asked them what the first story was about. The fate sisters said: "Oh that is a sad story". "It all starts here: "The wizard had a beatiful daughter, One day he asked her to leave him forever, She cried but she did what he ordered, She found the water world and she was then turned into a swan. I will leave the story so find out more in this story yourself. At the end he got his eyeball but still could not see but when he almosts destroys them Kathleen and Teddy boght back his daghter and she gives back his heart, And then he can see! And also the wolf's become Merlin and Morgen. My opinion is that girls 6+ and boys 7+ will enjoy this.
